Bergen Bobler (Eng)

BERGEN BOBLER

Nordic Cider Festival + USF Verftet

Save the date! On August 9th, USF Verftet in Bergen will host this bubbly event.

Early bird tickets (just 50 available at an amazing price!) are on sale now: [Ticketmaster link](https://www.ticketmaster.no/event/bergen-bobler-billetter/755792631).

The festival’s theme revolves around ciders and sparkling drinks—featuring the finest apple and grape bubbles all gathered in one place.

The idea behind Bergen Bobler stems from a shared desire among Nordic cider festivals, including Nordic Craft Cider Festival in Sweden, Syrlig Siderfestival in Denmark, Fest i Kjeften in Norway, and Siiderifestivaali in Finland, to create a meeting point for international cider producers somewhere in the Nordic region. Naturally, Western Norway stood out as the ideal location, with Hallen and USF Verftet offering the perfect venue.

It was serendipity that USF Verftet was searching for similar event ideas—a fruitful Bergen-based partnership is now in motion!
